BREAKING: Patrick Williams Out; To Be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks
Injuries are the worst it’s one thing about this game that you can never be sure about in predicting how a season is going to go so I’m sure as most of you have seen by now was reported by sham shirani that Patrick Williams has an acute bone EMA whatever that is not even
Sure if I’m pronouncing that correctly but he will be sidelined and re-evaluated in two weeks which does not mean he’ll be returning to the court in two weeks but he’ll be resting and rehabbing during that time and will be reevaluated and assessed how much more recovery time is going to be needed at
That point Casey Johnson reported this likely will mean that Pat is going to be out through the allstar break and Miss eight games in total just a big blow to the Bulls and Patrick Williams I know some Bulls fans will say well whatever Pat’s been trash we don’t need him if
Anything he was hurting us nah Pat was actually progressing and playing well until he came back after missing a few games and now it’s looking more clear that he was brought back too early which explains his poor play during those few games where he was back now I mean the
Biggest challenge with this even if you’re Pat fan or not the Bulls lose yet another forward in a guard heavy lineup the most starting lineup the other night against the Blazers featured four guards and vich missing a big bodied player who can defend well spread the floor and hit
Threes is a big lift for the Bulls that they’re most certainly going to miss now luckily it’s only for a few weeks not like this is a season ending injury but I would be lying to myself if I didn’t think that this injury might be worse than the Bulls are letting on the
Organization hasn’t really given us a lot of reasons to trust them and being transparent and open when it comes to player injuries like we saw throughout the whole Lonzo ball Saga but my hope is it’s not something more serious that is going to take much longer than initially
Anticipated because what you don’t want to happen is to have this impact Pats development and overall growth which let’s be fair hasn’t been much but we were seeing strides in the right direction when Zack LaVine was first out of the lineup and again before they brought Pat back prematurely he was
Playing with more confidence more aggression shooting the ball much better was rebounding better attacking the rim all that stuff that you want to see from your young player I will say the one silver lining in all this is a big opportunity for Julian Phillips he’s the
Next man up we’ve been talking about how we want to see more minutes from him give him minutes to work on his game and develop for the 20-year-old he’s going to be getting more minutes now had a great game in Portland 11 points and 23 minutes was active on both ends of the
Floor brought energy and hustle so while it’s unfortunate to lose Pat like this and hopefully he has a speedy recovery because the Bulls are going to need him for the season ending push when a door closes another one opens for a young Prospect and I think Phillips has a ton
Of potential that you have to nurture and work on by getting him some minutes which he’s now going to get anyway quick video I actually had an earlier video dropped this morning on niik lavich before the Patrick William news broke so check that out if in case you missed it

i think the injury is worse than what we know because an Acute Bone Edema healing time is 4 to 12 months depending on how bad it is also it might heal quickly because Patrick Williams is an Athlete
Time to give Julian Phillips more minutes. Not like the mediocre bulls were going to do much this season. Hope pat gets well soon.
Looked up a bone edema, fluid in bone marrow causing swelling. That sounds awful
I knew its swelling, didn't know it can happen inside the bone
This absolutely sucks
Pat need this time to just watch the team because he act like he gotta pass the ball as soon as it touch his hands. Now he can’t just watch and see where he can get his shots from
Get well soon PWill. But I’m sure Phillips is well able to make up for Williams 8 pts and 3 rebounds per game.
This obviously sucks for P Will as he was finally showing progress in his development this year, but with him being injured for at least a few weeks, and Craig being out still, I'm really worried about Caruso now. Billy likes his small ball lineups and now he's forced to utilize those lineups even more. Unfortunately that means Caruso will probably be the starting PF until P Will or Craig (or somebody brought in via trade) comes back. Caruso is definitely capable enough of playing good defense against 4s, but he puts his body on the line and now that he'll regularly be doing that against guys much bigger than he is has me worried about him getting injured. He's not the most durable player because of his playstyle and asking him to go guard giants in the post every night is essentially asking for an AC injury, which we obviously can't afford right now. I'm not a fan of starting Vooch and Drummond together, but maybe Billy should look at giving them a few minutes together each game along with continuing to play Julian Phillips and even DT just so that AC can guard guys closer to his size
Who cares P Will is not a make it or break it player ffs!!!
No probs with Vooch. The Bulls had a shit culture and now with Demar and Nikola we got young players coming on in Coby Ayo Pat Dalen Phillips. Keep playing the young guys Billy D. Hope Bulls can get playoff experience.
Havent watched the vid yet, but was thinking this, what contract is Pwill on pace to getting Im thinking 3 years 50 at the best maybe he takes the 5th year leap like Coby?
This one is going to hurt… P.Will will be missed AND will cost him in perception of development to be the star is could be for the Bulls. Damn. BTW, P.Will faithful here.
Well is time for this poor trash mediocre front office to do something about it, I can't believe they haven't made a move yet with everything they saw so far, so disappointing man…
I'm upset because I knew he came back too early and you could tell by the way he was moving that it was still bothering him. Sacrificing a setback for him in his career so you can get to 500? for what? a first round exit? gtfo
We are down to centers and guards. I hope Phillips has more playing time and respond well, but clearly the Bulls need some extra forwads. If they can wrap up the LaVine trade with Detroit and get Bogdanovic it would be great!
It'd be nice to have Justin Lewis rn 🤦🏾♂️
Pat needs derozan or lavine to go and he needs to play the 3.
He's out for the year, giving the Bulls' medical staff's history.
Get well soon, Pat. People slandering you with that passive ISH like you weren't going off in December without Zach.
